The Daily Nebraskan. BEE VOL 2. NO. 46. LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1902. PRICE THREE CENTS. GRIDIRON WORK GOES ON After Two Days' Rest Yarsity Scores on Scrubs Referee lloagland Praises Ne braska's Team. Practice was exceedingly spirited last evening, two days of rest for the team having sunicrd to put them in an ex cellent condition. All the men with the exception of Westover, were out in their toggery and took their tuniB in bucking the line of the scrubs. Thorpe appeared for practice again, after being out of the game for over a week. Al though not in his usual condition, he has almost recovered from the injury to his neck received some time ago. The varsity succeeded in making three touchdowns in half an hour. The scrub line was unusually strong, with Johnson on the end, linger playing quarter, and Myers, Englchnrd and Prit chard the backs, and Tobin, New ton and Hummel in the line Even this strong aggregation was unable to make many gains against the varsity. John son did H13 1 tar playing for the second eleven, and seldom failed to get his man. 'T.ill" is one of the swiftest and surest ends In the west and plays with the proper spirit. Ralph Hoagland of Chicago, who refcreed the Knox gnme, is enthusiastic In his praise of Booth's team, and con siders it one of the strongest elevens in the (ountry. "The men," he says, "are all splendidly drilled In tho rudimen tary elements of the game, such as fall ing on the ball, tackling, charging and tho arlous other points that make the finished player and team. All of tho skill that Booth learned at Princeton when old Nassau was a champion team, seems to have been drilled Into his charges at Nebraska, and his pupils play with the same dash and Bplrlt that made Princeton supreme when Booth was in school." Mr. Hoagland gives especial mention to the superb playing of Captain Westover, Ringer, Cortelyou, Bender and Bell and praises the large number of first year players on the team, who will make even better men next year. He expressed himself as agreeably surprised at the gentle manly conduct of the Nebraska team, and is unablo to understand why the reputation of rough players was given tho Cornhuskers. He considers Michigan superior to Nebraska, but believes that were a meeting between the two team possible, the Wolverines would be held down to a low score. Such praise, coming, as it does from a man of Mr. Hoagland's reputation as od authority on football, is indeed very complimentary to Nebraska, and we are ready to believe all he Bays. The team will put forth its greatest efforts from now until Thanksgiving to be prepared for Northwestern. The men from Bvanston are getting into good form. They are highly elated over the results of their Saturday's game and will come to Nebraska de termined to win. On next Saturday Northwestern will play Illinois. Championship Undecided. One of the best class football games ever played on tho local gridiron was the game yesterday between the Ju nior and Sophomores. As the Sopho mores recently defeated the Freshmen, :iml the Seniors nre not playing foot ball, yesterday's contest was to have c'loidcd the class championship, but neither side scored, and the winners are yet to be determined. Fifteen minute liahes were played and Bender and Ma Fon officiated A crowd of about 200 witnessed the game. The Juniors excelled in the first half, as they twice advanced the ball to 'he Sophomore's 7-yard lino, while thih own goal was never in danger. Honors were about evon in tho second hnll It being a fierce tug of war from B'.Tit to finish. On the whole tho teams wc re quite evenly matched, as indicat ed by the result. Tho Juniors carried t'ie ball the greatest distance, and were unable to score, but came much nearer 0011. p so than their opponents. Although it was only a class game the players lined up to the strains of "Hot Time," which sounded from the grand stand, nnd was furnished by two clarionets, a cornet and bass horn. The Sophomores started tho game at 2:50 with a kick off to Eager, who made a return of twenty-flvo yards. By lino plunges and end runs tho Ju niors pushed their opponents Bteadily down the field to their 7-yard line. Here the Juniors claim the Sophs stole the ball, but unfortunately, if they did, it was not seen by the officials. Burg punted thirty yards to Bell, who fum bled and a Sophomore fell on the pig skin. But the ball soon went over on downs and Myers skirted the end for twenty yards. The Sophomores took a brace and forced their opponents to punt. The Sophs made no return and time was called with the ball in their possession on their 7-yard line. In the second half the Juniors kicked cil to McWhlnuey, who returned seven yards. In the next play the Sophs were penalized five yards for offside play, but Lehmer and Burg Boon made up for it and made fifteen yards in addition. The Juniors soon secured the ball on downs and Walton was substituted for Melick. They were compelled to punt in a few minutes and Lehmer re turned ten yards. Tho Sophs then sprung a fake punt, but gained only two feet, and next punted to tho Ju nior's 20-yard line. In several pjays Myers and Eager carried tho ball to 1 the center of the field, whore tho under I classmen secured It on downs. Time waB about up and the Juniors took n spurt which would havo doubt less resulted in a touchdown with a lit tle more time. Through excellent tack ling on the part of Newton and Mooro the Sophs were downed behind tho line and on attempting to punt Capt. Wil son blocked the ball and an upper class man fell on it. The Juniors imme diately punted 30 yards, a Soph miBsed the ball and the Juniors got possession Concluded on Page 2. PREPARING TO DEBATE Nebraska's Logicians Are (jetting Ready for the Season Sche dule Being Completed; A Challenge. A challenge for a debate thlB year has arrived from Albion College, Mich igan, one of the best known denomina tional colleges of the state. The college Is particularly anxious to establish de bate relations with Nebraska, accord ing to the letter from the Debating and Oratorical association addressed to Chancellor Andrews. For several rea sons it would not be advantageous for Nebraska to debate with the Michigan institution. Therefore the secretary of the Debating board. W. F. Meier, has sent a declination to consider the pro posal. Meanwhile arrangements are being made for the inter-stato debates with Colorado, Kansas and Missouri. The season will wind up with the only de bate, according to the present schedule, Nebraska has this year at Lincoln, that with Missouri. Secretary Meier Is in correspondence with Kansas and Mis souri in regard to the questions. From the following, which appears In the M. S. U. Independent, it would seem that Missouri Is on tho alert thlB year: "Nebraska has already begun drill ing for the mid-winter dobates. From all appearances It seems that there will be 'something doing' In a forensic way, at that institution soon." Wisconsin will debate the income tax question with Michigan. Arrangements nro already completed. The question to be debated by Har vard and Princeton Is, "Resolved. That whenever in tho event of continued do mestic violence, lives and property are not adequately protected, it is for the public good that the president should have the power to afford protection, without application to the state for federal aid." The subject to be debated in English 13 tomorrow afternoon is whether or not compulsory arbitration is a just and effective means of settling labor disputes. Problem In Botany Department. Students in botany havo been specu lating somewhat on the probable course that the department will adopt during the absence of the instructors and as sistants. The department of botany has been very prominent and popular for many years, and has placed a large number of reliable men in responsible positions. This demand for compe tent men often causes a shortage of assistants in the department, which seems to be the case at present. P. J. O'Gara. who has assisted in the department for tho past three or four years, is to leave the university and take up work in the civil service. Dr. nnd Mrs. Clements nro to take a month's vnentlon and J. L. Sheldon 1b spending a largo part of his time in the employ of tho government. Consid ering tho fact that another man has been needed in tho dopartmnt all along, It 1b no wonder that the students aro guessing. There Is no alarm, how ever, becnuBo of tho great confldenco that tho department enjoys. Demand for Science Teachers. Religious exercises wore conducted at chapel yesterday by Rev. Blakemore, of Tecumseh, who Is In tho city visit ing his daughter. MIbs BurniBS sang a beautiful sopra no solo, which was heartily applauded. Dr. Bolton spoke on tho domand for teachers In dofferent linos throughout tho state. The supply of teachers in tho branches of mathematics and tho sciences is altogether too small. Men are preferred for these positions, but taking both the men and tho wo men applicants the demand was about eight timeB as great as the supply tho past year. Dr. Bolton feared that unless the Biip ply of teachers was greater next year some of the schools could not come up to the requirements for University ad mission. Women teachers for tho branches of language, literature and history aro plentiful, in fact thero are many moro applicants than positions. Dr. Bolton urged moro studontB to take tho scientific branches, and closed by telling all of the students not to bo afraid to work. The Crawford Concert. The entertainment to be given at tho Baptist church Friday evening under tho auspices of tho Borroca club and tho University Y. M. & Y. W. C. A., well desorves the patronage of the uni versity public. Miss Mabelle Crawford, the leading soloist, is one of tho fore most contraltos of America.
